Would you consider publishing a paperback book about the vehicle and the project Alpaca?

Haaa, that would take almost the same amount of time it is building it, although I am taking high quality pics as i go.

As i have restored many vehicle for not only myself but customers this is a natural move up for me. I do 90% of the work myself, and farm out only what i cant do.

I just got in a left side pivot shaft assembly as the one that was on was cocked in, causing the rear sprocket to tilt the track and not run true to the front sprocket wheel.

Next is replacement front and rear sprockets for the tracks as mine are missing chucks in them here and there. Not sure if it happen in combat or all the years after. Also found a replacement front winch to stick in that big hole behind the front bumper, which i have located.

On a gun note, my browning M2 top cover came in today
